I feel your pain. It's a very outdated law with no real purpose that needs to be abolished.However, i fear it never will be.

I'd love to listen to Heathrow - Our Kennedy.I often listen to Edinburgh when I'm close enough, and I can hear some Scottish Control as well as Dundee Airport from where I live.There also used to be a stream of Glasgow Airport out there too, but I think that's dead now.

Unfortunately, things don't look set to change any time soon.There was a petition on the Your Freedom website, but that website has now closed.

*listens to east midlands tower with his own scanner*i'm afraid this will be the only way we'll be able to do this, but if only i could stream and share the excitement of the diversions from all the snow!

Well, when I set up that petition it said that if further consultation was to be entered into they would contact me, which they haven't. So I guess the stupid 1941 (!!!!) law won't be consigned to history any time soon. Oh well, it was worth a try, and thanks to all who signed it.

RE: flightradar24.com - I think a hell of a lot of LiveATC visitors visit FR24 just as often, especially if you're interested in well-covered zones that LiveATC also has a feed for, such as most of Europe. (BTW, www.marinetraffic.com does the same for boats - it's quite cool, even if you're not into shipping!).

For Heathrow geeks, don't forget www.heathrowcam.net - there's a webcam pointed at the glidescope of 27R and he also has a great live stream for £1/month.
